Imagine presenting an idea and then watching all the extroverts hijack it while you fade into the background.... Extremely frustrating.

Idea hijacking sounds funny 😁

I absolutely stick up for myself or find a way to claim ownership, even offline with the senior people. It takes some finesse to avoid damaging relationships... Words of advice.. if you do not look out for yourself no one else will!

I like to periodically chime in with a summary of what everyone has discussed, or reframe discussions when people are throwing out more ideas. "So to recap so far, this is the proposed solution, timeline, etc" or "from what I'm hearing, here are the perspectives/options" let's people know you're listening and give the impression you control the conversation without you needing to actually facilitate. And it gives you a reason to sit back quietly and listen instead of having to keep talking

Then I pepper in language that assumes it's my idea " I didn't consider that when I was first thinking of this" "I like that idea, hadn't considered that originally"
